Excellent chiller. Quiet, which is saying a lot for a chlller - they aren't by nature ever quiet, but this one is. Brings the temperature in my 120g down 1 degree in a good 20 minutes on a hot, humid day. Can't really beat that.

I use this for a 70 gal tank - no problem. Handles the load beautifully, running for less than 5 min per chill cycle.

I purchased this here because of the great price, it was $100 dollars more on other sites that i looked on. it does what it says works great, very quiet. Other sites told me i needed a 1/10 unit but i used the calculater on this site and it told me i needed the 1/5 unit. Thanks Bulk Reef Supply for getting me the right size unit at a great price.

Would it be possible to hard plumb this to my tank with PVC ? and if so what size fittings would screw on the 1/5hp model ?

Hi Edgar,
The chiller uses proprietary unions on the chiller itself that attach to barbed elbow connections (they come with a variety of sizes). This is actually idea for a piece of equipment like this as you would want to run pipe to within a few inches of the chiller and then use a short piece of flexible tubing (ideally silicone) to bridge the last few inches. Chillers vibrate quiet a bit and this will reduce the transmission of those vibrations to the rest of the plumbing, which should keep things a lot quieter.

The JBJ Arctica Chillers incorporate some of the most advanced technological features to create a solution to stabilize water temperatures for your aquarium environment.

Arctica Features

Titanium Heat Exchanger

Exclusive titanium coil design creates maximal contact exposure.

Condenser Layout

Condenser, which is located on the front side of the chiller, draws cool air from the front and exhausts the warm air out the back. This unique placement also allows direct access to clean the condenser grill without any tools to take the chiller apart.
